Madeline was a graduate of Owego Free Academy and Binghamton "City" Hospital School of Nursing, class of 1951. She loved nursing, having worked in many capacities, including as an EMT with the Apalachin Fire Department for 15 years. She retired as a school nurse from Owego Elementary School. She was a founding member of St. Margaret Mary's church in Apalachin, having served in many ministries throughout the years, including as a Eucharistic minister, a Stephen's minister, the Altar and Rosary Society, the Finance Committee, and was active for many years on the Bereavement Committee.
Madeline and Gene enjoyed life to the fullest, especially during their retirement years. They loved walking "up Barton and down Beach," dancing the polka, cross country skiing, bicycling and traveling. A special event in their lives was the annual family Winter Weekends at Allegheny and Betty and Wilbur Davis State Parks. After Gene's death, Madeline continued her traveling, having taken a train ride across the country with her daughter, FeFe to complete her agenda of visiting all 50 states. Madeline and Gene's license plate was "GONAGIN." Madeline will always be known for her zest of life, love of family, and her competitive spirit playing Euchre.
